OpenSuperClone

This is a fork of the HDDSuperClone source code (http://www.hddsuperclone.com/) released under the GPL2 by Scott Dwyer.

OpenSuperClone/HDDSuperClone is a powerful disk cloning utility for Linux akin to ddrescue with many advanced features.

Changes (since version 2.3.3_20220430 of HDDSuperClone)

• Cleanup of project files
• Implemented CMake as build system
• Removal of licensing related functions
• Switched from GTK2 to GTK3
• Updated kernel driver to work on 5.15

Known Issues

• OSCViewer is extremely buggy in GTK3 and missing functionality from its GTK2 counterpart, it is recommended to build it with GTK2 instead
